Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo episode 23

The end is… near? Once again I had to double check the amount of episodes for Sakurasou no Pet na Konojo. I started to think that this was the last one by the way things ended. I’m kind of interested in the final episode now, seeing as most things have already ended.

I got sceptical as soon as the episode started with their graduation ceremony. One could immediately tell that things were ending by the way the characters acted. But that’s not important right now. Misaki’s speech is what’s most important here. It was moving and very powerful. That one speech turned the tides for Sakurasou. That one speech got them all the votes, forcing the teachers to postpone any and all plans for Sakurasou until the matter has been resolved. Good for them, but they must know that they’re only postponing the inevitable. Sakurasou is an old building. Either spend some money on maintenance or tear it down.

I see this episode as a coin, it has two sides. On one side, the bad side if you don’t mind me saying so, we have the fact that there were a lot of recaps during this episode. It was moving to a degree, seeing all those things again. However, I’m not a big fan. I think that there’s no room for recaps when a show is ending.

On the other side; we still have an episode left. All the Sakurasou crap is over and done with, they have graduated and pretty much all the drama has passed. We have one episode left to finalize things properly, maybe with a scene or two of the characters’ futures. Doesn’t that sound rather nice? I have high hopes for the final episode, I can tell you that much.

It’s ending for now you mean. This is the adaption of a light novel after all and if my source is correct then we’ve just used two or three out of ten volumes. I’m expecting that the final episode will intoduce us to the new members of Sakurasou after Jin and Misaki graduated.
